13.15-13.45	How to win the agency battle and  protect your O’Licence As the current economic climate continues to present challenges to the road transport sector many operators face difficult trading conditions. The global credit crunch and the so-called ‘double dip’ recession in the UK together with rising fuel prices are already creating difficult conditions for many road haulage companies. The number of hauliers going into administration is steadily increasing, yet it is all too easy during such difficult times for a company to overlook its obligations under an Operator’s Licence, one of the most essential assets of any transport company. An Operator’s Licence is conditional upon the licence holder being able to demonstrate sufficient financial standing to maintain the vehicle safely on the road. Using an agency is a very simple process but here at Employ we understand the importance of protecting the operator’s license whilst delivering a cost effective and compliant service. We are going to present how your agency should be adding value to ensure compliance whist there driver is working as an ambassador for your company. Employ Recruitment Ltd
